> 3 dayIve never read any books by Zoey Dean before, so this was my introduction to her. She tells a good story in a conversational way which makes it fun and easy to read. I liked her writing a lot, and while the story did seem a lot like The Devil Wears Prada it had enough different twists to keep me interested. Definitely one of the better chick-lit books out there this summer, and worth a read if you enjoy stories like this. I give it four stars rather than five because it sort of dragged on a bit towards the end and didnt keep me interested the entire time. Still a good book, though!

19-12-2024Megan Smith lives in NYC and works as a secretary for a fashion magazine doing captions for photos. She would rather be working for a more well respected magazine, but stays put. That is until she gets fired. Her boss tells her that she is is not suited for that kind of job. Her boss tells her that she has a job lined up for her working in Florida and that it would help her money wise (she has massive college debt). Megan flies down to Florida, not knowing who she was going to work for, but was told to read a magazine with an article in it about the spoiled rotten grandchildren of a French woman who made billions marketing skin and hair care products. The grandchildren (twins) need to be tutored so that they can be accepted into Duke University before they get their inheritance The twins Rose and Sage do not want to have anything to do with Megan at first, thinking that they will not need Megan since they will be big stars, but that is soon proven wrong. They decide to do the work and in the process all thing learn things about themselves and find love in along the way.

> 3 dayI loved this book and found myself really enamoured of the heroine. She turns a bad job into a once in a lifetime experience. She is likable, funny, and friendly. The spoiled twins are believable (think Paris and Nicole), The whole set up is creative and Dean writes a fast paced and entertaining novel. I am so glad I came across this one as I know I will read it over and over. Very hip, cool, chic, engaging, and chick lit-ish. Good clean novel for ladies who love glamour, studious folks, romance, tabloids, and Cinderella stories. Amazing!!!!!!

> 3 dayI wanted to read this book because I saw the TV series Priviledge. I actually liked the book much better than the TV series. Megan Smith is asked to tudor two wealthy teanagers but when they are mean to her, she decides to write a book about how horrible they really are. As she gets to know them, she realizes that they are not horrible. There is a little of a pretty woman / cinderella theme and sort of a love triangle. I was surprised when I googled Zoey Dean that according to google she is actually a writting team but that wont stop me from checking out more books written by Zoey.

Greater than one weekThis is easily one of the worst books Ive ever read. Like another reviewer stated in her review for another book, I dont expect much from chick lit. I want a light, fast, easy read... nothing that is really going to strain my brain. However, this novel is so unrealistic and dumb I feel like feeding it into the shredder. Im an avid reader and my rules for fiction are simple...the most fantastical things can happen, as long as they make sense within the context of the world the author has created. A filthy, dripping rich grandmother hiring some wet-behind-the-ears kid as an emergency tutor to her spoiled teenager grandchildren does not make sense. Such a woman, with tons of money at her disposal, would hire an experienced tutor who has like, handled the Olsen twins. Why would she hire Megan, at the recommendation of her friend who just fired the girl because she had an attitude problem? Which brings me to the character of the protagnonist...shallow, judgmental, immature, stupid, spoiled...these adjectives dont even begin to cover it. The reality is all of us are supposed to pay our dues by working crappy jobs in the real world, and were supposed to be sympathetic to the heroine who rolls her eyes and doesnt take it seriously? And believe that the woman who fires her for this is going to recommend her to be a tutor to spoiled heiresses? Please. That would never happen. Oh, I could go on...I think the thing that bothers me the most is this novel is essentially a poor rip-off of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. We have the jaded (supposedly) smart heroine who longs to be taken seriously as a writer and work at THE NEW YORKER; we have the crappy job that could be the key to her hearts desire if she can stick it out, we have the devilishly handsome and rich love interest who is trying to take her away, the horrible spoiled boss (in this case, the twins)even the gay fair godmother who lends her exciting outfits so she can pretend to fit into the Palm Beach world. And just as an aside, I dont care much for the drag queen gay cook who just happens to be her size. ARE YOU KIDDING? Not to mention that statistically speaking, most drag queens are straight, but why not take advantage of a stereotype? My final word...if you must read it, borrow it from the library or a friend. Otherwise, do youself a favor, and skip it.
